Chapter 18: The White Crane Boy

"You are Suningan, the genius of Fourteen Fists?"

"Seven layers of qi and blood, how did you come to the Mage Building? It stands to reason that a qualification like yours, even if you don't have money or background, will be focused on cultivating, right? ”

"Offended people, right? Offend or the big people you can't afford to mess with? ”

The person responsible for leading Su Ningan into the Mage Building was also a green-robed martial artist, seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pale complexion, a thin figure, and a Taoist robe hanging lightly on his body, looking very wide and looking extremely ill-fitting.

"By the way, my name is Lu Tao."

This guy is a talker, and along the way, he talks endlessly.

Su Ningan was silent, occasionally responding a few words, from entering the door to entering the cave through the wooden building, it was less than half a burnt incense, he could not say that he knew nothing about this place, Lu Tao revealed a lot of useful information to him.

Zhou Yuan didn't lie, working in the Mage Building was indeed extremely well-paid.

It's just that these rewards are exchanged for lives, so let's put it this way, the mortality rate of the martial cultivators who work for the Mage Building is the first in Changning Temple, which is more than the combined mortality rate of the other courtyards, including the Ziwei Academy, which is responsible for external battles.

White Crane Boy.

This is the nickname of the martial arts boy who entered the mage building.

As small as a white crane, gone forever!

"Don't store money, use as much as you want, enjoy it when you should enjoy it, otherwise, I don't know who it will be cheaper?"

Lu Tao stood in the cave corridor and said to Su Ningan with a smile.

The pine oil lamp hanging on the wall burned, and the faint yellow light fell on his face, and the smile was pale and eerie.

"This is Master Tan's residence."

Lu Tao pointed to a portal and whispered to Suningan.

"You and I are both white crane boys who follow Master Tan, last month, there was a treacherous change in Zhouzhuang, Master Tan was responsible for suppressing it, Senior Brother Fang was unlucky, he lost his life, today, it is up to you to make up for it, I hope you can bring good luck, the next few days, everything is too peaceful, there are no taboos!"

He came to the door and knocked softly.

Three long and two short, repeat twice.

He turned back to Suningan and whispered.

"Remember the rhythm of this knock on the door, don't make a mistake, otherwise, things will get very big, Master Tan said, the door is a passage for something, those guys will do everything possible to trick you into opening the door, once you open the door, they will come!"

Lu Tao laughed miserably.

"With us, there are a lot of taboos, you can get used to it slowly."

At the same time, he added in his heart that if he couldn't adapt to it, he would have to die.

"Master Mage, the new kid has arrived!"

Lu Tao straightened his back and said loudly.

For a long time, there was no sound behind the door.

Lu Tao no longer spoke, motionless, his expression was respectful, Suning An painted a gourd in the same way, in an unfamiliar environment, it is best to follow the rules and learn from the rules.

After a while, there was a rustling sound from behind the door, like a spring silkworm gnawing on mulberry leaves, but the sound was amplified a hundred times.

Among them, mixed with human voices, faintly.

You have to be very careful to hear what the man is saying.

The general meaning is, I will disappear from the person, you are responsible for taking him, introducing him to various taboos, be careful, don't die if you go out of the task.

Etcetera.

"Okay, I got it!"

Lu Tao turned around and spread his hands towards Suningan.

Then, the two of them returned the same way one after the other, walked out of the cave, and returned to the seven-story wooden building, which was quiet, only the footsteps of the two echoed.

"No one here?"

Su Ningan asked softly.

"It's not that no one is ...... Seven mages, fourteen white crane boys, the mages all live in the cave, the boys live in the wooden building outside, one person is on duty for a day, and must stay in the building when on duty, without the instructions of the mage, it is better not to enter the cave if there is nothing to do. ”

"You are a newcomer, I will take you this month to familiarize you with the operation, and next month, we will start to take turns."

Lu Tao's voice was also very low.

"Alright, here, the third floor, this is our territory."

There were three or four rooms on the third floor, and Lu Tao pushed open the door of the one at the top of the stairs and walked in with Suningan.

The room is very spacious, but also very empty, there is no furnishings in it, there is no furniture, the four walls are covered with rune paper, there is an incense burner in the middle of the room, on both sides of the incense burner, there are two futons, in the furnace, green smoke curling.

The air wafting indoors was faintly sweet and stuffy.

"If the incense burning in the incense burner is extinguished before it burns to the end, it means that Master Tan has something to summon...... Pay attention to the incense burner, before the incense in the furnace burns out normally, you must light the incense in time to take over, and you can't make mistakes! ”

Closing the door, Lu Tao looked at the incense burner and said with a solemn face.

Then, the two walked over, Lu Tao motioned for Su Ningan to sit on the futon, he sat down himself, stretched his waist, yawned heavily, leaned back, and lay down on the wooden floor.

"Senior Brother Su, be comfortable, don't be so restrained!"

"There is a saying that you should have heard, there is wine today and drunk today, tomorrow is sorrowful and tomorrow is when, we, the white crane boys, are not in danger, and enjoying the present is the right way......"

Su Ningan was still sitting on the futon and did not lie down.

He asked softly with a frown.

"Senior Brother Lu, it's just a matter of doing things, Master Mage is the main force, why do we, the martial cultivators, suffer heavy casualties?"

"This, it's a long story, it's hard to say!"

Lu Tao turned his neck and turned his head to look at Su Ning'an on the side of the incense burner.

"It's you, Changningguan's rules, the martial arts cultivators of the ordinary group must obey the assignment of duties, and they can only blame themselves for their bad background when they are arranged to the mage building, but the members of the genius group can completely refuse the position arranged by the general affairs hall."

"Why are you here?"

Suningan smiled.

"This, too, is a long story, and it's hard to explain!"

"Hahaha......"

The two laughed.

The laughter fell, Lu Tao sat up, and said with a straight face.

"Senior brother, how much do you know about spiritual masters?"

Suningan shook his head.

"Master Mage lives in isolation, even in the temple, it is rare to see it, plus, I have no friends, no sources of information, I have almost no understanding of Master Mage, I only know that the black-robed mage is the worship of Changning Temple, mostly outsiders, and the yellow-robed real person is the descendant of the Daomen."

"Black robe!"

Lu Tao sighed.

"In this world, demons and ghosts are rampant, there are many types, it is not easy to deal with tricks, first of all, you need to know whether the source is a demon, a ghost, or a rare but powerful monster, after understanding, you also need to know the roots of the other party, the specific source, master these, in order to have a target, do not do useless work, and solve the disaster in one fell swoop!"

After a pause, he sighed again.

"However, it is very difficult to grasp the roots of the weird, it takes many temptations, this kind of temptation is fatal, sometimes, there is no chance of error, once you make a mistake, you will be infected by the weird and die...... Therefore, at this time, there should be someone who is specifically responsible for temptation. ”

Lu Tao laughed miserably, and his face became even paler.

He stared at Su Ningan and said slowly.

"We, the White Crane Boys, are the ones who are specifically responsible for the temptation, and the money is just the money for selling our lives, so we have wine today and get drunk today!"

"No deadline?"

Suningan asked.

"One year, as long as you can survive a year, you can retire, and in the future, you can get an idle job in the view and live a leisurely life......"

Lu Tao laughed miserably and pointed at himself.

"Even if you survive this year and your vitality is greatly damaged, how long can you live?"

Su Ningan was silent.
